Real Ale at the Barley Mow
Real ale is great stuff, and here at the Barley Mow we take this seriously and always try to to keep the best ales to the highest standard.
As a keen drinker of real ales myself, I get the same enjoyment out of serving a good pint, as you the customer gets by drinking a good pint. Below is a list of the Real Ales currently being served at the pub, and usually we will try to give an indication as to what will be coming up.
Suffice to say, whenever you come, we will have a good selection. (Obviously this changes day to day, so if in doubt give us a bell,or just come down for a lovely suprise !) Hope to see you soon, All the best Dave...
